The two maintained their professional relationship, and following the GameStop event in January 2021, he experienced a paradigm shift and joined the EDM System R&D team.
Leandro Neri spearheaded the development of the automated trading subsystem, global innovative asset discovery subsystem, and comprehensive multi-asset trading subsystem. He led the R&D team in executing a revolutionary technical upgrade of the EDM System, dramatically enhancing its efficiency, speed, and intelligence.
